LOS ANGELES () — If you watched “The Muppets” in decades past, you’d see such stars as Rita Moreno, Elton John and Liza Minnelli. Now, 50 year later, it’s time to play the music and it’s time to light the lights again!
Kermit and company are back on stage at the Muppet Theatre with Kermit once again the consummate host, a modern day Ed Sullivan if you will. Or as Kermit suggested, “Maybe there’s a young host you could compare me to? Maybe one of the Jimmys?”
When it comes to performers, nobody really compares to the one and only Miss Piggy. She’ll tell you she’s an icon, a legend, a superstar, even a muse. In the new special, she shares a fun moment with singer Sabrina Carpenter.
“You’re my idol! Yeah, I basically modeled my whole look and style after you,” Carpenter tells Miss Piggy. The Muppet star then tells her, “Oh, trust me, my attorneys and I have taken notice and we will be in touch.”
Fans of the original series will be happy to know the entire Muppet ensemble is back and ready to rock!
If there’s something Kermit and Miss Piggy can promise the audience of this latest show, it’s this.
“I can promise you I’ll be there. What else do you need?” Miss Piggy said. Kermit went on to tell us we could also expect singing and comedy, plus Seth Rogen and Maya Rudolph. Not to be outdone, Miss Piggy interjected. “That’s just like frosting on the top,” she said, adding, “I’m the cake.”
“The Muppet Show” is now streaming on Disney+.
The Walt Disney Company is the parent company of Disney+ and this station.
